📢 An 84-year-old Marine Veteran in California just called it like it is: Trump is tearing the country apart—gutting the VA, slashing Head Start, and betraying the values he fought for. He’s not alone. Veterans see the damage. And we’re not staying quiet. MORE: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Y'all figured it out, huh? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/03/u...

There is one anti-immigration figure that I wouldn’t object to always covering his face in public.

It’s incredible that he does this as Mike Johnson is out there accusing recipients of widespread fraud.

Kind of feel like a 23 year old with no relevant experience randomly cancelling potentially life saving research should be viewed through a crimes against humanity lens for the people who gave him that power.

Probably if you want to cut down on Medicaid fraud don’t pardon the fraudsters or elect them to the senate.

Trump is pardoning people who are guilty of the crimes he claims he’s trying to stop with his administration’s unconstitutional and extreme actions. It’s like he wants the minority paying close attention to lose our minds.

Tip for foreign nationals: Sell a little drugs, Trump will send you to an El Salvador hell hole. Sell a lot of drugs, he’ll pardon you as long as you cut him in.

That video of neighbors banding together in San Diego to shame away ICE is very satisfying, but I can’t help but worry that it’s going to result in some chilling new directives.

wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

They’re stealing from us. Call it what it is: a damn robbery, not a budget.

One of the very few times I agree with Mike Pence.

This is residents in San Diego telling Ice-Gestapo agents to get TF out of their neighborhood. More of this please. 💙👊

In Greek mythology, Narcissus fell in love with his own reflection in a pool of water.

It's all our fault because we didn't thank Eric for hardly really overcharging the Secret Service at Mar-a-Loco last time around. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Amazing reporting here on how things have backfired on the capitulating law firms and their enabler. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

"Congress would sharply increase the number of people without health insurance, largely by narrowing the path for poor Americans to gain coverage and making it easier for them to be booted off it."

Here we find Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, never one for facts or research, casually putting in writing as a supposed fact the idea that, at the very least, 1 in 7 of the approximately 200 million Americans over 18 owns an AR-15

Whatever it is, this is my favourite sport.

Get the sense that attack in Colorado was the work of a single individual and thus hard to prevent. But worth recalling how how many FBI have already been pulled off counterterrorism and other forms of crimes for immigrant round up duty.

People so often overlook the importance of good penmanship.

🇺🇦Ukrainian Air Defence shot down: ▪️52/80 Russian drones, including 15 shot down by air defence and 37 suppressed by EW/lost in location; ▪️0/3 Iskander-M/KN-23 ballistic missiles; ▪️0/1 Iskander-K cruise missile.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Makary keeps repeating "gold standard" like a car salesman saying "lifetime powertrain warranty."

Wow—this is what community looks like. It’s heartwarming to see locals rally around Buona Forchetta after it was raided by ICE on Friday. In the face of fear and cruelty, San Diegans are showing up with solidarity.

If this was a band, what would their name be?

I believe that America is first and foremost about freedom. Here’s why I have no problem with masked men without proper identification confronting and arresting and taking away people.

The real scandal in 1930s German politics was Kaiser Wilhelm’s cognitive decline

Analysis | The many court rulings against Donald Trump could have a chilling effect on future presidents' ability to fuck around with the government to see what they can get away with.

American men should model their masculinity, not after woke professional athletes, but after a billionaire man baby who got the shit beat out of him by his five-year-old son.

More of that "freedom" MAGA loves.

First it was "We can't help everyone." Then it became "I have compassion fatigue--stop asking me to feel sad about other people." Then it was "Empathy is for the weak." And now it's "Let them die."

Going to start a crisis management firm that suggests the day your drug abuse is splashed across the New York Times you macrodose and stand next to the President of the United States, tripping balls on live TV. I may only get one client, but it would be enough.

If you leave a bag of drugs around the White House it’s a big deal. But if you ingest a bag of drugs in the White House, no problem.
